In virtually every case, when I have seen an Athlon system tag, it says something
like Athlon XP XXXX+ at Y.YY GHz.

At the discretion of the computer maker and/or retail outlet. They don't want to be
in a legally compromised position when a customer figures out QS is a bogus
number, not a clock frequency.

That blows a few holes in your conspiracy theory, doesn't it? The actual frequency
is right there, on the tag, every time.

Wrong. When AMD brought out QS it insisted that vendors only report the bogoHz
figures. But AMD was too weak to make it stick and vendors and stores reported
both bogoHz and real Hz in contradiction to AMD's wishes.
